Page 2 Objectives of this Session Methods that encourage Industry incentive to invest in publicly available SOA components Federal SOA…dependant on the discovery and reuse of registered and graduated components Encourage and differentiate use of ET.gov / CORE.gov Emphasize Community of Practice (CoP) role

Page 3 OMG MDA, ET.gov / CORE.gov…an Integrated Process Build RMSC Discovery, Reuse, Governance OMG ET.gov / CORE.gov Integrated Plan

Page 4 Emerging Technology (ET).gov … … or Component Organization and Registration Environment (CORE).gov ET.gov facilitates the identification, discovery, and formation of communities of practice (CoP) CORE.gov a collaborative environment and component registry/repository where teams register processes, capabilities, case studies, best practices, documentation, and software components Both are sponsored and run by CIO Council and GSA

Page 5 RMSC in ET.gov Overall ET.gov Process –Identification / Registration –Subscription –Stewardship –Graduation –Budgeting –Acquisition –Maintenance –Retirement / Replacement RMSC has been approved at Stewardship… Graduation will lead to its population into CORE.gov

Page 6 Identification and registration Create an XML document which describes RMSC component, Benefit – searchable, detailed component, owner, state information Information regarding proposed components is registered, indexed, and made available for browsing and searching. Anyone may identify an ET component

Page 7 Subscription 19 Agencies self-subscribed to RMSC component thereby forming community of practice (CoP), Benefit - RMSC Community of Practice drives development, design, discovery, adoption and reuse of RMSC Government employees and others subscribe to components of interest to them, thereby forming CoPs around those components. CoP may use any collaborative environment around ET components, such as CORE.gov

Page 8 Stewardship The CIO Council's (CIOC) Emerging Technology Subcommittee agreed to accept stewardship of RMSC based upon the interest and commitment embodied in the RMSC CoP, Benefit – CoP demonstrate to ET.gov and CORE.gov leadership that sufficient resources exist to determine RMSC technical viability and utility…and that real customers exists The ET Subcommittee accepts stewardship of components for which sufficient interest exists, as evidenced by the CoPs forming around them.

Page 9 Graduation RMSC will "graduate" to become a relatively mature new service component Benefit - the CIO Council's Governance Subcommittee can recognize the RMSC in the Service Component Reference Model (SRM) and catalog it in the Technical Reference Model (TRM) and apply the governance process for the Federal Enterprise Architecture (FEA) models. The technical viability and utility of ET components are demonstrated, whereupon they become candidates for inclusion in CORE.gov for Government-wide access.

Page 10 OMG Government Domain Task Force MDA Models for Records Management Services (RMS) Approval Process (due complete March 2008) –Revised Submission –Final evaluation and selection by Task Force, recommendation to Architecture Board and Technology Committee –Approval by Architecture Board, review by Technology Committee –Technology Committee votes –Board of Directors votes

Page 11 RMSC Key Features Integrated OMG MDA and ET.gov process Indexed and searchable at origin CoP drives development with inward focus Simultaneous review by ET and CORE leadership Leverage FEA governance process Benefit – Increase RMSC adoption and reuse

Page 12 Way Ahead Refine development of CIM, PIM, PSM OMG models RMSC CoP –Confirm translation of RMS requirements document –Evaluate and Validate RMS Use Cases –Technical assumptions (Metadata, Persistence, Provenance) –Schedule Collaboration/Expedition Workshop –Collaborate with SOA CoP Determine which FEA artifacts will be required to guide the demonstration of the RMSC, and lead to its population into CORE.gov
